Rather than mourn, though, we prefer to laugh.So we’ve come up with five of the funniest and
most memorable moments from the Emmy-winning comedy:

1. Jack and Tracy undergo therapy: To help Tracy (Tracy Morgan) confront his daddy
issues, Jack (Alec Baldwin) summons the NBC therapist. A role-playing session is run crazily
off-track when Jack impersonates — in quick succession — Tracy, his father, his “moms,” the “white
dude” for whom she left his father and the Latina neighbor. Included are impressions of Redd Foxx
and Jimmy “J.J.” Walker. (“Rosemary’s Baby” — season 2, episode 4)

2. Liz meets Oprah: In an episode with one of the show’s most hilarious guest
appearances, Liz is ecstatic to meet Oprah Winfrey on a flight — but she takes a sleeping pill. A
dazed Liz bares her soul to Oprah, telling her she didn’t lose her virginity until 25, she kissed a
girl on a dare at summer camp and she once had a sex dream involving Nate Berkus and Dr. Mehmet Oz.
(“Believe in the Stars” — season 3, episode 2)

3. Tracy does Conan: This is when
30 Rock began to hit its stride. Liz is preparing Tracy to go on Conan O’Brien’s show, but
Tracy is off his medications. The episode provides the first reference to
The Rural Juror, the movie with Jenna (Jane Krakowski), and the first appearance of Dr.
Spaceman. It also features one of the first great Liz-Jack exchanges — Liz: “Why are you wearing a
tux?” Jack: “It’s after 6. What am I, a farmer?” (“Tracy Does Conan” — season 1, episode 7)

4. Liz gets married: Liz and Criss (James Marsden) decide to get married to
improve their adoption chances, but Liz doesn’t want a fairy-tale wedding. Instead, she will get
hitched at city hall “in a sweatshirt, no bra.” But, once there, she changes her mind. What ensues
is one of the most bizarre TV weddings — complete with an appearance by Tony Bennett. Liz is,
indeed, a princess bride — donning her Princess Leia dress and those jumbo hair buns. (“Mazel Tov,
Dummies!” — season 7, episode 7)

5. Meat is the new bread: Tracy is strapped for cash, so Jack advises him to come
up with a product to endorse. The result: the Tracy Jordan Meat Machine, a dual-press grill that
melts chunks of meat into one glorious “food ball.” Raves Tracy, “You no longer have to suffer
through the bread part of your sandwich.” (“The Rural Juror” — season 1, episode 10)
